Cubictoise

The Kubiktoise , also toise cube , was a French measure of space. The basis was the old French measure of length, the Toise .

After the meter was defined as a length of exactly 443.296 Parisian lines in 1799 , the Parisian foot had a length of exactly ⁴⁵⁰⁰ ⁄ ₁₃₈₅₃ meters (≈ 32.48 cm). Previously, the measure was subject to regional fluctuations, and accordingly the volume measures derived from it, Parisian cubic feet and cubic feet.

• 1 cubic sound = 216 Parisian cubic feet = ^{216 × 4500 × 4500 × 4500} ⁄ _{13853 × 13853 × 13853} m³ = ^{19,683,000,000,000} ⁄ _{2,658,468,401,477} m³ ≈ 7.403887 cubic meters
